Hopefully not.
Well yeah, but supposedly with more vigour than usual trying to trigger a more general uprising, rather than the more general encouraging attacks.

Oh really? Do we deal with Russia too then? Drop some bombs on them, invade, enforce regime change? Right o, better get those troops ready then.
Yep and we learn every time. Iran wants Israel gone at its current level of ****twatterry. Does it stop if Israel disappears or do we get the full on all Christians/Hindus/Buddhists must die and something else pops along and they all go were done now happy days everyone.

Yemen's Houthi rebels fire missiles at ship bound for Iran, their main supporter
Authorities say Yemen’s Houthi rebels have fired missiles at a ship bound for a port in Iran, causing minor damage but no injuries to its crew.

Clearly just firing at anything haha
Well logically (assuming they have any functional intelligence on the ships...) if they didn't target certain flagged ships then companies would just change their flagging to stop being targetted.
US and UK strikes fail to slow Houthi attacks
BBC Verify analysis shows how Houthi tactics have changed, as commercial shipping traffic in the Red Sea halves.

Interesting to see China transport costs have gone up 500%. Iran shoots China trade in the foot.. No need for import tariffs with Houthi action.

$1000 rise to $5000.
While true that costs of shipping from China has increased, The article doesn’t say that the volume of trade from China has decreased (simply that the volume of goods through the suez has decreased) so the I’m not sure how you came to the conclusion that Iran is shooting China in the foot.
